00:00This is the kind of occasion we all relish as football fans.
00:04Non-stop hype all week long and now for the action.
00:09Well, the stage is truly set for what should be a terrific night of football here at Anfield.
00:14I'm Derek Ray and looking forward very much to getting tactical insights from my commentary partner Sue Smith.
00:21And if this game lives up to its billing, we're in for a riveting occasion.
00:25It is Liverpool against Paris Saint-Germain.
00:28I think it's so important that both teams start on the front foot, take the game to the opposition and an early goal will certainly settle any nerves.
00:58In your heart
01:00I think it's so important that you will never know
01:06I think it's so important that you will never know
01:11I think it's so important that you will never know
01:17No!
01:17No!
01:18No!
01:20No!
01:20No!
01:21No!
01:22No!
01:23No!
01:23No!
01:24So the starting line-up for Liverpool
01:51Alisson begins in goal
01:54Virgil van Dijk plays alongside Ibrahima Cornate in central defence
01:58Florian Wirtz plays with Mohamed Salah out wide
02:02And leading the line today is Ugo Etiquite
02:05And the PSG team looks like this
02:10Ashraf Hakimi plays with Nuno Mench in the full-back positions
02:14Vitor Ferreira starts with Fabian in the centre of midfield
02:17And the responsibility of leading the line today goes to Ousmane Dembele
02:22Interesting 90 minutes ahead of us here
02:48Paris Saint-Germain get things started
02:50Florian Wirtz
02:55Ugo Etiquite
02:59Succeeded in keeping it in play
03:02Alexis McAllister
03:07Ekiteke
03:10Can they set up a chance?
03:14Well they stopped them in their tracks
03:21Nuno Mench
03:27Good distribution
03:32Can they fashion a chance?
03:39Oh beating his opponent with ease
03:42And the keeper getting right behind it
03:45And the corner played over by Dembele
04:03Possession lost by PSG
04:06So Bosloi
04:12This is Salah
04:13Liverpool with acres of space out wide
04:16Must take the lead here
04:20And they have
04:22And they have
04:22You've got to say
04:23It has been coming
04:24If you watch this again
04:40I love how he dances by his marker
04:42Like he's not even there
04:43And then he just shows his call to finish it off well
04:47So the ball rolling again
04:58With the scoreline standing at 1-0
05:00Marquinhos
05:04On to Vitinha
05:07Dembele
05:09Well this could really help the cause
05:12Dembele
05:16Could be
05:17And fine goalkeeping
05:19Fired over by
05:33Ousmane Dembele
05:34Well he couldn't get the header on the target
05:37But robust defending
05:38Mosala
05:55Ekitike
05:58On to McAllister
06:01Moving it confidently
06:07You can almost see their opponents
06:10Racking their brains
06:11How do we stop this?
06:14Will it happen for them?
06:17Is this the moment?
06:19Just what the Liverpool fans wanted to see
06:21As they extend the lead
06:23To two goals
06:25Well we can see it again
06:38And he does well
06:39He shows great strength and balance
06:41To fend the defender off
06:42And then he slots it home
06:44It's a really good goal that
06:45So back on the way
07:02With the lead standing at 2-0
07:04Joao Neves
07:12Trying to tee it up
07:17Can get themselves back into it
07:25And the keeper more than equal to the task
07:28Elects to go short
07:41Oh this looks useful
07:43Oh that's an expert piece of defending
07:49Just as it was looking threatening
07:51And he disrupted that really well there
07:54A car that is blocking at the emergency
07:56Lohian Pierce
07:57Please return to your vehicle
07:59And move it as soon as possible
08:00Thank you
08:01Frimpong
08:02Well a passing sequence
08:06That's easy on the eye
08:07Real chance
08:11Really fine piece of defending play
08:13To break it up
08:14Well you can tell what the fans think of that decision
08:18They're certain that it should have been a penalty
08:20Genuine chance
08:24Oh superb reflexes
08:44Didn't quite go to plan
08:48Marquinhos
08:54And a tidy challenge
08:58Opportunity it is
09:04Well how has he kept that act
09:07Well that was all about split second reactions
09:09And it showed us just how sharp he is
09:12That's a great stop
09:13And possibilities here
09:23Oh had to intervene
09:26Just have to make sure they don't get caught on the counter attack
09:36And a chance to whip it in here
09:41Oh that's a fine looking pass
09:44Able to skip past his man
09:48And that's a clean take
09:50Showing real courage
09:52Showing real courage in a crowded box
09:53Eki Tike
09:56Florian Pierce
09:59Oh that's splendid play
10:02Well it could be on for him here
10:04And the keeper really reacted brilliantly
10:07Well I thought that had to be a goal
10:09But the keeper pulls off a tremendous save
10:12It's cat like reflexes
10:13Just a matter of dumping it away
10:23Willian Paco
10:29Well almost at the break
10:35And Liverpool very much in charge here
10:37Eki Tike
10:38Yeah they've been the better of the time
10:40Possible chance
10:41An amazing piece of goalkeeping
10:43I just don't think he can believe that that's not got in
10:46But he's met his match with the keeper
10:48His superb reactions kept that one out
10:51Dempele tasked with taking the corner
10:55Oh moving it nicely
10:59Could pull one back here
11:01And give him free reign to run
11:10Well they might be able to launch a counter attack
11:13But they took care of the situation defensively
11:17And really closing him down here
11:19Hakimi
11:24And a brisk run
11:28Dempele with the cross
11:32The referee has decided that two additional minutes are in order
11:38So Bosloi
11:40Will it happen for them?
11:46Real chance
11:47Another goal
11:50And surely there's no way
11:52They can throw this away
11:53Absolutely dominant
11:55Well if we watch this again
12:03It's all about being alert in and around the box
12:06And when the ball falls to him
12:08He's clinical
12:09That's a really nice finish
12:11No more time left
12:23First half is over
12:24Here at Anfield
12:25Not to be too blunt about it
12:31But this has been a struggle for him up front
12:33Yeah really hasn't been able to carve out too many opportunities
12:37Certainly hasn't tested the keeper
12:39They often do rely on his goals
12:41So it's easy to see why they're behind here
12:44And away they go again
12:56Just reflecting on what we saw in the first 45
12:59Joyous football from Liverpool
13:01Jeremy Frimpong
13:05Grafenberg
13:10On to McAllister
13:14This looks interesting
13:16Getting past his opponent
13:21Ferreira
13:26Good tackle
13:32Take it away
13:33And the chance
13:39Slips away
13:40Yeah really well organised
13:42Off the ball there
13:43Hugo Ekitike
13:56Might lead to a chance
13:59Ready to break perhaps
14:04Oh looks so promising
14:13Marquinhos
14:16Dembele
14:21And showing good game awareness
14:24Dembele
14:26And a good challenge
14:39To bring that attack to an end
14:41Baratelia
14:47Oh breezing past him
14:51Just have to make sure
14:55They don't get caught on the counter attack
14:57So Bosloy
15:02Nicely timed tackle
15:06Vitor Ferreira
15:10And teammates around him
15:13Hakimi
15:17Oh he's left as marker for dead
15:20And Geddig across to stop it
15:22Corner awarded to PSG
15:33PSG
15:36Are going to switch things around
15:37On the personnel front
15:38Levering it into the box
15:42Oh the crossbar
15:43Is still reverberating
15:44Well they could break at pace
15:46Now they have possession
15:48In a good area of the pitch
15:50Oh the goalkeeper did well
15:54To hang on to that one
15:55Oh very effective play
16:00And they might be on to something
16:01A real opening now
16:06And a good save there
16:09Short corner it is
16:16A smart stop here
16:20Trying to build a head of steam
16:23Another corner it'll be
16:25Can he deliver it
16:27With accuracy
16:28Now no mistake from the keeper
16:30Acting decisively
16:31Wierz
16:34So Bosloy
16:38On to McAllister
16:40Referee has let the advantage
16:43A crew to Liverpool
16:44Well couldn't quite find his team mate
16:48Plenty of supports here
16:51Can he put it in?
16:57Well not making life difficult
16:58For the keeper at all
16:59A wide attempt
17:00And a booking to add to the story
17:03Yeah it's good referee in that
17:05Ferreira
17:21Now with Vitinha
17:29Dembele's in the centre
17:31And clears his lines
17:33And good anticipation
17:44And the keeper taking charge
17:45Of the situation
17:46Ferreira
17:59And a fine cross
18:08And that's a decent bit of goalkeeping
18:11Over it comes
18:35And the goalkeeper
18:37Has bailed them out
18:39But it was a hair raising moment
18:41Yeah they've been lucky
18:43To get away with that one
18:44Haven't they?
18:44That was a reckless mistake
18:46Takes the shot
18:47And he would have been disappointed
18:48Had he spilled that one
18:50And the defensive intervention there
18:52Yeah it's great awareness that
18:54Positioning was spot on there
18:56And under pressure
18:59That was a fine claim
19:01Throw in here
19:04For PSG
19:05Substitution it is
19:08For PSG
19:09Maybe dangerous here
19:14In position
19:16Oh brilliant goalkeeping
19:18And over comes the corner
19:28No good idea
19:30And a fine stop
19:33They'll try to keep the pressure on
19:36In the form of another corner
19:37And possibilities here
19:51Is it going to be?
19:54Well hit with ferocity
19:55When accuracy was required
19:57No mistake by the keeper
20:01Real chance
20:04And really tried to blast that one
20:07Past the keeper
20:08But his radar was a bit off
20:10And a good tackle
20:30Dembele
20:34On to Vitinha
20:37Really fine piece of defending play
20:40To break us up
20:41Now opening things up
20:51Nice and rip it's in
20:54That's a good looking ball
21:15The sound of the referee's whistle
21:17This match is in the history books
21:19And it goes down
21:20As a Liverpool victory
21:21Well that was an emphatic result
21:24Wasn't it?
21:24They looked so confident in attack
21:26Every time they went forward
21:27You thought
21:28Out of the landfill
21:30้ฎ
